Ingredients:
For the Kartoffelrösti:
4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
For the Stuffed Filling:
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and peas), diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil, for sautéing
For the Avocado Cream:
1 ripe avocado
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Begin by preparing the Kartoffelrösti. In a small bowl, mix together flaxseed meal and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes, flax egg, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Divide the potato mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty. Place the patties in the skillet and flatten them with a spatula.
Cook the Kartoffelrösti for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Now, prepare the stuffed filling. Heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent.
Add mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in cooked quinoa, ground cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
To make the avocado cream, scoop the flesh of the avocado into a blender or food processor. Add lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
To assemble, place a Kartoffelrösti patty on a serving plate. Spoon a generous portion of the stuffed filling onto the patty, then top with a dollop of avocado cream.
